ERICK, F MUNCIE, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR TO' GLASCOGKBROTHERS MANU- FACTURING COMPANY, OF MUNGIE, INDIANA, A CORPORATION OFINDIANA STAND FOR BOTTLE DISPENSING REFR-IGERATORS Application filed May5, 1930, Serial My invention relates to improvements in bottledispensing refrigerators and more particularly to the stand forsupporting the same.

It is one of the objects of my invention to provide a supporting standparticularly adaptable for supporting bottle dispensing refrigerators,which stand shall occupy a minimum of floor space, shall be cheap tomanufacture and readily assembled.

For the purpose of disclosing my invention, I have illustrated oneembodiment thereof in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is an elevation partly in section of a stand embodying myinvention;

Fig. 2 is a plan of the bottom portion of the frame;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cover plate for the bottom portionof the stand.

In the embodiment illustrated, I provide a rectangular base-frame 1preferably formed of angle members welded together at their corners.Extending upwardly and inclined inwardly from each corner is an anglememher 2, the top of each of which is secured to a top plate 3. Thisplate is rectangular and is provided on each side with a downturnedflange 4, the top ends of the angle members 2 being welded in thecorners of this flange. The structure thus described forms a pyramidalbottom frame which is covered on three sides by panels 5, preferably allformed from a single sheet of material. The bottom edges of the panelsare turned to lie parallel with the sides of the base frame 1 and aresecured thereto by bolts or screws and the top edges of the panels areinturned to overlap the top plate 3. The free edges of the cover plateforming the panels 5 are inturned to form flanges 6 which laps two ofthe angle members 2. Each of the panels isprovided with an opening 7shaped to receive a basket frame 8, which frame is provided with aperipheral wire 9 of such dimension that it will prevent the frame fromslipping through the opening beyond a predetermined point.

A secondary base structure is supported on the above described bottom orprimary base structure and this secondary base structure comprises aninverted pyramid formed with No. 449,711. Renewed May 7, 1931.

four panels 10 having their edges inturned as at 11 to lie parallel withthe top plate 3 to permit the securing of the secondary base structurein position by bolts or otherwise to this top plate. The panels arepreferably formed of separate sheets welded together at their edges andthe top edges of the panels are turned upwardly to form an enclosingflange 12, within which is adapted to be seated the dispensingrefrigerator 13. I

Suitable castors 14 are secured at each corner of the base frame 1 topermit the easy shifting of the structure over the floor.

I claim as my invention:

1. A supporting stand for bottle cooling receptacles comprising apyramidal base having a rectangular base frame, four upwardly extendinginwardly convergmg corner posts,

means for connecting said corner posts together at their tops, panelplates secured to said corner posts and an inverted pyramidal supportmounted on the tops of said corner posts.

2. A supporting stand for bottle cooling re ceptacles comprising arectangular bottom frame, upwardly extending inwardly converging cornerposts secured to said frame, a

top plate connecting said corner posts at their tops, a plurality ofpanel members all formed from a single sheet of material secured to saidcorner posts, and an inverted pyramidal support mounted on said topplate.

3; A supporting stand for bottle cooling receptacles comprising arectangular bottom frame, upwardly extending inwardly converging cornerposts secured to said frame, a

top plate connected to the tops of said posts, an inverted pyramidalsupport comprising side panels having their lower edges inturned andsecured to said top plate and havingtheir upper edges upturned to formaperipheral flange. y I

In witness whereof, I CHESTER A. Fine]: have hereunto set my hand atIndianapolis, Indiana, this 2nd day of May, A. D. one thousand ninehundred and thirty.
